Babes' Black Panther song: She sings kikirikiki and, oh, it features Mampintsha
As if Mzansi didn't have enough drama with Zuma's future and allegations around Senzo Meyiwa's murder, Babes Wodumo has had the nation shook with a single she recorded for the Black Panther film soundtrack.
Fans were looking forward to finally hearing Babes without her boss Mampintsha after seeing a track listing for the album late last week. Sadly, like most things in Mzansi at the moment, it was not to be, with Mampintsha sneaking his way onto the track to provide backing vocals.
Twitter fans were not impressed and flooded social media with questions asking how the heck this happened!

So Bongekile is 1 Babe, & Mampintsha is the other Babe. & Together they are BabeS Wodumo.
Why are we tryna complicate things? ๐๐พโโ๏ธ๐
How the hell did Mampintsha manage to worm his way into Babes Wodumo's #BlackPanther sound track!? ๐๐

Many were less impressed by the fact that Babe's lyrics on the track can basically be summarised into two phrases: "oh my word" and "kikiritiki".
Can we get subtitles over here?
